On Education Trends: CAMPUS TECHNOLOGY January 2014

This "project" was launched initially when I ran across an Open Education Course that required a blog to be launched.     I have continued this to reflect upon Education in general and some of the key trends--including MOOCS.   MOOCS's  have caught fire--but the long-term viability continues to undergone scrutiny:  CAMPUS TECHNOLOGY January 2014

On Why a Sense of Faith in Education is Critical: Thoughts From Dr, King

 

Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others? - Martin Luther King, Jr. When people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory. - Martin Luther King, Jr. Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness. - Martin Luther King, Jr.  Whatever your life's work is, do it well. Martin Luther King, Jr.  We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. - Martin Luther King, Jr.

On the Beauty of Education and the Need to Keep an Open Mind.....

This is a "channel" that has been dormant, but I hope to resurrect.    I ran across this courtesy of Jonathan Luckwood Huie who does great work in helping to transform our thinking and outlook on life--and believe in the art of the possible.

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -

it is the illusion of knowledge.

- Daniel J. Boorstin

The problem with making assumptions

is that we believe they are the truth

- don Miguel Ruiz

deliberate, contrived and dishonest,

but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.

- John F. Kennedy

Believe those who are seeking the truth.

Doubt those who find it.

- Andre Gide
